Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X 1:16

[danielsmocs]

Hi there, I like to present my newest creation: a ~1:16 scale model, inspired by the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X.

It is built out of more than 1800 pieces and features a lot of details and functions: 

• working suspension and adjustable ride height
• opening front- and backdoors 
• opening hood and trunk
• very detailed engine which can be removed from the model to be displayed separately 
• very detailed interior
• fully detailed bottom of the car with exhaust and drivetrain
• custom wheels 
• custom stickers
• approximate Dimensions: 29,5cm x 14cm x 13cm (LxWxH)

Thanks for watching!

Great job, I love the real car as much this model. I've got some comments for possible improvement:

-The C pillar looks way too thick.

-The roof looks flat and inclined to the front, while the actual roof is rather curved without incline front to back.

-The bonnet could be improved by implementing the "creases" with a rise of one plate.

Hi, what's going on, it is soo quite here? 

@johnnytifosi thanks for the feedback! 

I'd say, there is always room for improvements when replicating cars with bricks. But I designed it that way and like it a lot. I know, that the roofline isn't perfect, but it is a new building style, which I didn't use before. Even though, the line isn't exactly like the real car, it looks nice and harmonic, I think. Instead of trying to match all proportions or get every line exactly, I always have some other tasks: I want to have smooth surfaces, no studs, some unusual or special building techniques and as much functions and details as possible in this scale. That's what I did :-)

I like all the complex shapes and angles on this one, and it still does indeed look harmonic. I agree that sometimes having a smoother look is better than replicating all the small details at the cost of cluttering it.
